Governor Scott Hosts Venezuela Roundtable

Governor Rick Scott today hosted a roundtable event with leaders from the Venezuelan community to discuss the actions the state has taken against the Maduro regime.  Last year, Governor Scott and the State Board of Administration passed a resolution to ban state investments that would benefit Nicolas Maduro’s oppressive government. To build on these efforts, Governor Scott proposed legislation (SB 538 and HB 359) to strictly prohibit all state agencies from investing in any company that is doing business with the Maduro regime.

FSU MAAPP Students Hosted Roundtable on Retaining Young Professionals

Posted on July 21, 2017

Community Leaders Joined Students in Discussion About Local Opportunities for Graduates

Florida State University Master of Applied American Politics and Policy students hosted a roundtable discussion today with local, state and federal leaders to discuss opportunities for young professionals in the Capital City. Applied educational programs, like the FSU MAAPP program, provide young professionals an opportunity to pursue a graduate degree while advancing in their careers.
“Politics is big business in Tallahassee and for more than 20 years FSU’s MAAPP program has been educating some of the brightest politicos in our state,” said Bob Crew, Ph.D. Director of FSU’s MAAPP Program. “We teach students working fulltime in the state legislature, executive branches, lobbying, communications and other important areas of the political process—often providing more incentive for these young professionals to pursue lifelong careers in Tallahassee.”
“Tallahassee’s colleges and universities are a rich source of creativity and innovation, and as the Congressman for Florida’s fifth district, I am dedicated to working with academic, city and community leaders to ensure these creative minds have opportunities in our area once they graduate, said Congressman Al Lawson. “Attracting and retaining young professionals helps foster new ideas and entrepreneurship – which in turn, benefits Tallahassee’s economy.”
“Tallahassee NYP’s mission is to help make our city a great place to live, work, play and stay by highlighting and cultivating some of the great amenities the city has to offer young professionals,” said Mukadam. “I am grateful that so many leaders in our community are focused on efforts to ensure talented young professionals have an opportunity to thrive in the Capital City.”
Congressman Al Lawson, Leon County Commissioner John Dailey, Tallahassee City Commissioner Curtis Richardson, Tallahassee Network of Young Professionals President Brittany Mukadam, Chair of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce Talent Initiative Berneice Cox, Tallahassee Democrat President Skip Foster and FSU students participated in the panel discussion held at City Hall.
Tallahassee is home to three colleges and universities, and according to 2010 census data, more than 30,000 residents ages 18 – 25. Recent additions like College Town, enhancements in Midtown and the revamping of the Tallahassee Mall are just a few examples of efforts to attract and retain young professionals. The city and local nonprofits continue to explore innovative ways to grow opportunities for new graduates and young professionals.
The MAAPP program is a terminal Master of Science degree designed for those who seek active careers in a number of political fields: Campaigns, Fundraising, Political Communications, Lobbying, Legislative Affairs, etc. Unlike the traditional graduate program in Political Science, which is designed for individuals with career paths in academia and research, MAAPP offers practical experience and a diverse set of skills for those interested in careers as political operatives. Florida State University’s MAAPP program has two distinct advantages over other political science programs of this type: flexible enrollment options including evening courses for students holding full-time jobs during the day, and the significant political networks available due to our location in Tallahassee, the capital city of the third-largest state in the U.S.

Sen. Latvala to Host Roundtable on Opioid Crisis

Posted on July 19, 2017

Palm Beach County Roundtable on Aug. 8

Senator Jack Latvala, Chairman of the Florida Senate Appropriations Committee, announced today that he will hold a roundtable discussion on the opioid epidemic next month in Palm Beach County.  Latvala was invited by Senator Kevin Rader and Palm Beach County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay to visit Palm Beach County to learn first-hand about the issues surrounding the epidemic of opioid overdoses.
“Opioid abuse is a crisis facing our entire state.  It’s costing lives and money.  In fact, Florida hospital charges related to the heroin epidemic top $4 million a day,” Latvala said.  “But the crisis seems to be affecting Palm Beach County more than many other parts of the state with more than 300 opioid overdoses in Palm Beach County already this year. Senator Rader and Commissioner McKinlay have worked particularly hard to bring attention to the issue.  I want to visit and hear directly from the professionals and families involved with the issue,” Latvala added.
During the first five months of this year there were 311 opioid overdoses in Palm Beach County compared to 258 over same period in 2016.  Last year there were a total of 592 opioid-related deaths in Palm Beach County alone.
Senator Latvala’s roundtable will be Tuesday, August 8 from 9:30 a.m. – 12 noon in Room PSD 108 at Palm Beach State College located at 4200 Congress Avenue in Lake Worth Florida.
Florida received a total of $54 million federal grant money to address the opioid crisis.  State spending of the grant money is managed through the budget, which is administered in the Senate by the Appropriations Committee.
